Historical Slavita Gemara! Maseches Eiruvin, Slavita 1836, with the Haskamos!

This volume of Eiruvin was the final volume of this Slavita edition!

After this volume, the Russian government shut down the Jewish publication houses in the country. The competitive printing firm of Romm in Vilna also started to publish their own edition of the Talmud at the same time as Shapiro in Slavita. They maintained that Shapiro already sold out all their complete sets and thus the previous statute of limitations of the Rabbis did not apply. The matter was brought before a tribunal of the most prominent Rabbis of the time with different, changing opinions published by both sides. This volume contains lengthy approbations of the Chassidic and non- Chassidic Rabbis of the Austro-Hungarian empire, Poland and Russia (some of which are actually important response on the legal ramifications of approved competition in this area; and contain historical information overlooked by most of the scholars writing on this subject). Each side accused the other of forging the list of names of Rabbis on their side. Although R' Akiva Eger was on the side of the Vilna Printers, Slavita continued with the publication of this volume.
